Terminology
- Platform: a configuration of hardware and software
- Instance: a particular system
Instances of a Platform are nominally all the same, but this is often not strictly true due to manufacturing tolerances, slightly different versions of hardware, minor software differences, etc.
The Roomba i3 is a Platform. The Roomba you have at home is an Instance.
Logs
A log is all the data recorded during a calibration data collect.
Each log has some associated data:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Date | When the log was created, UTC |
| Name | The account name who created the log |
| Log Name | The system-generated unique name for the log |
| Label | A comment provided when the log was created |
| Robot | <Platform>.<Instance> |
| Status | The current status, see Log status |
Each log's webpage contains:
- A collection of files; more can be added while the log is unlocked (before you click)
- A collection of notes
- When a calibration is complete, a Calibration Output

- If necessary, create a new Platform
- Create a new Instance associated with the appropriate Platform
Upload sensor data
- Log in to the Data Portal
- Click “Dashboard”
- Enter a log label, which we recommend include a human-readable note about who operated the system during the data collection, where the data was collected, and any other helpful reminders
- Select the system Instance that collected this log
- Click “Create Log”
